Dr. Ho,
Man, you’re awesome.
I recently visited Dr. Jongwook Lee and had a great experience. Dr. Lee is incredibly thorough and took the time to explain every step of my procedure, which really put me at ease. You can tell he truly cares about his patients. If you’re looking for a dentist who combines expertise with a gentle touch, I highly recommend Dr. Lee!
Thank you again!

Questions Atascocita Dental Patients Ask About Emergency Dental Exams
When should a patient request an emergency dental exam?
Severe or worsening tooth pain, a broken or knocked-out tooth, new swelling, or a suspected dental infection should receive prompt attention. A damaged filling or crown may also require an urgent visit, particularly when pain or exposed tooth structure is present. Patients can call Q Dental for guidance about appointment timing.
What happens during an emergency dental exam?
Our dentist reviews the symptoms and relevant health history, examines the affected area, and may perform diagnostic tests or obtain X-rays. The findings help determine the cause and appropriate treatment. Q Dental then explains the recommendations and whether further appointments or referral are needed.
Will treatment be completed during the emergency appointment?
Treatment may begin during the visit when the diagnosis, available appointment time, and patient’s condition allow. Some problems require additional appointments or referral. The emergency examination establishes what care is needed and whether immediate treatment or temporary stabilization is appropriate.
Does Q Dental offer same-day emergency exams?
Same-day care may be available when scheduling and the patient’s condition allow. Patients should call Q Dental directly at (281) 852-2230 to describe their symptoms and confirm availability. Online appointment requests should not be relied on for time-sensitive emergencies.
When should a patient seek emergency medical care instead?
Difficulty breathing or swallowing, severe swelling involving the mouth or neck, swelling affecting the eye, serious facial injuries, or heavy bleeding that will not stop require immediate medical attention. Patients with these symptoms should call 911 or seek care at an emergency department.
